The Armour Archive

The Getty MS of Fiore dei Liberi as you’ve never seen it before! Featuring all-new digital photography that lets you see detail down to the texture of the parchment, together with a detailed explanation of the manuscript by Dr. Ken Mondschein, Research Fellow at the Higgins Armory Museum, noted expert on historical fencing, and discoverer of the Paris manuscript of Fiore dei Liberi. Even if you already have digital images of the MS, you will find the new photography even sharper and more detailed.

Good sales of this book are critical to the medieval martial arts community, since the Getty’s decision to proceed with an edition of all four of Fiore dei Liberi’s manuscripts (by Ken Mondschein and Tom Leoni with Greg Mele) will be based on how many copies we move. Please support our work!

Nice job, Ken.

Just ordered one. When do you expect the books will be printed/shipped?

October

ordered one...

I have ordered my copy.

Ordered

Ordered.

Copy ordered. Link to Getty Store and book posted onto FB as well.

Shipping is going to be more than the book itself, hmmmmmmmm, but it will surely be worth it!

Done! ...and grateful for the heads up!
Raim

Just finished ordering mine. Thanks

Ordered as well.

Can I get one ad well

Thanks to all of you! The more we sell, the better!

Looks great, preordered.

Just ordered one last night oops make that 2 of them you never know

Move all Fiore! Bump for great justice!

Ordered one a few days ago. Thanks to Sir Wolf for bringing it to our attention locally!

I'm doing a new sales drive; my goal is to sell 1,000 of these before it's published.

If 20% off isn't enough, Amazon has it for about $10 and dirt-cheap shipping.

Sales of this are critical if we ever want to see a print edition of the Getty Fiore.

Please forward this to all mailing lists and forums, and thank you!

BTW, I make no money from this over the one-time honorarium the Getty paid me; the sole advantage is that good sales will persuade the Getty to proceed with an edition of all four Fiore dei Liberi manuscripts—also not a money-making venture for me!

You can still preorder it on the Getty site for only $12 (enter coupon code GPMON11) or it's even cheaper on Amazon.

Yeah, I'll be ordering one as soon as I get home!

Thanks man! I've ordered one, too. And I'll add to my FB page as well.

Have a great weekend,
Conner

I just did as well

And this is where reading the whole thread could have saved me a couple of bucks. Oh well, at least I got the preorder in.

Amazon's cheapest...
